Mattress Forum

My wife and I are in the market for a new mattress.  We're fed up with innerspring mattresses, and we're now thinking about a latex mattress, based largely on favorable reviews and information provided in this forum. However, having no experience sleeping on a latex mattress, I'd like to check some out at local stores to get an idea of what configurations would work for us. Can anyone recommend latex mattress vendors in the greater Boston area?  We're leaning toward a natural latex product, but don't yet know whether talalay or dunlop (or some combination) will suit us best. It seems like the big chain stores (Sleepy's, etc.) typically have a few all-latex models available, but don't have a great selection, and also don't seem to have legitimate knowledge of the product. Plus, I'd be happy avoiding the big chains anyway, and giving my business to local shops that can provide honest information and a good product.

Also, on a side note...can anyone comment about the long term durability of dunlop vs. talalay?  I've come across directly contradictory statements that claim one type or the other maintains it's resilience and support over a longer time period.  I'm sure durability is largely dependent on the quality of the latex, but perhaps that can be removed from the equation for a fair comparison.  Although I'm relatively tall and skinny (6', 165 lbs), or perhaps because of it, I have the unnerving ability to generate body impressions in a mattress.  I'm hoping a quality latex mattress will withstand my ferocious dead weight longer than 3 months, which is the length of time our most recent $1,000 inner-spring Serta mattress lasted before starting to cave under my hulk-like sleeping pressure. 

Many thanks for any information or advice.
